*Jobs&Professions Unit

About the project:

The students of Year 4, 5 and 6 are doing the topic of jobs and professions, and in a few days they are going to do an assessment of this topic. My tutor of the School Folch i Torres decided that I’m going to do the pre-assessment in a different way. Why in a different way? because they only use book and I not going to use it.

As they are different courses, I'm going to do a lesson plan for different Years but sharing some materials.

1. With these exercises I want that the students practice speaking complete sentences, practice the preposition AT, understand that when is a question they have to change the subject and when is an answer too. I decided to use a sheet because they have a notebook and for the assessment they have to give the notebook to the teacher.

 2. I emphasize these basic issues because sometimes they are wrong using she or he and they forget that the 3^rd person needs –S. I want notebook close because they always do exercises like match and copy, without thinking or remember.



 Song: Pepole work

  3. I select this song because has rhythms and ecourage students to sing and dance, I want my pupils enjoy learning English. For me speaking is very important and for that I want that they share her/his information, because with that they try to speak English.

4. Finally, I decided to do a memory game because I saw that they only use book or sheets, and I think it's a good way to speak easy English and start to love English.

#Fourth week

This week is Carnival, and everyday we have to wear different complements. We are going to know what we have to wear tomorrow every afternoon. It's incredible, the messengers, with amazing dress ups, come to each class and say the proclamation, for example today they said:  

"El rei Carnestoltes ens ha dit...
Un hort al cap us haureu de col.locar...
Diademes guarnides
de pomes i figues.
Hortalisses i verdures
fresques i madures.
Barrets i antenes amb fruites
del temps i acolorides."

Emisaris 

And then you have to have imagination and create your own vegetable garden on your head!

Look my picture!

 I cut some cardboard and then I wrote "My vegetable garden" and I stapled it to my Hair headband. If you don't want to spend money you have to use imagination!

I asked to Ignasi about the assessments of the projects, because I saw that he wrote some comments but I don't know what. And he showed me this list of objectives, I have to say that he doesn't like very much, but the school gave to Ignasi, and he has to use it.

Theatre activity: Last week we went to the Theatre with Year 5 and we saw the show Frankenstein, and now the students have to do some exercises of comprehension about this show. How I saw that the activities that they have to do are really boring, fill gaps in a large text and pass to 3rd person, and they think that is like a punishment and I thought, if I do a game with the photos that I took at the theatre, these students can learn English while they are playing. For that I made a Power point, you could find here:

Power point Theatre Year5

Using this power point I want to be able that my students, read and understand, speak and listening and do cooperative work.  They did really good, was funny and they ask me if I could bring more games like this.

Friday was Carnival, and Teachers had to be Gardeners.

Every teacher made her/his disguise, I made it, with staples and I decorate it, I wrote "English Gardener" and some names of flowers in English.

This school lives Carnival in a special way; every class made themselves their own costumes. You can see the pictures.

We made a flash move, teachers inclusive, was incredible. Then, all the teachers went all together to lunch. :)
